The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Playa de las Americas.
First off, I gotta be straight with you—this is a quiet stretch. There’s no real power in the water for the next two weeks, and we’re looking at small, very ordinary conditions most days. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly sitting between 58 and 104 (a few moderate bursts in the 100s), so don’t expect any of that long-period groundswell to really light things up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The standout period, if you can call it that, is the middle of the second week. The morning of Wednesday, September 16th, is the best of the bunch. You’ve got a SSW swell coming in at 1 ft, but with a period of 16 seconds—that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is a moderate 114. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. This kind of long-period swell is best suited to the reef and point setups here, so keep that in mind. That afternoon, the swell picks up to 2 ft from the S, still with that 16-second period, and energy jumps to 180. Glassy conditions again. That’s about as good as this forecast gets.
Beyond that, Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th see small 2 ft to 1 ft S/SSW swells with periods around 13-14 seconds, and clean cross-off winds. The energy is moderate (129 to 156 on Thursday), but the size is still tiny. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
For the rest of the period, we’re bouncing between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, with periods mostly under 13 seconds and energy often below 100. A few glassy mornings early on, like Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, but the waves are barely there. Saturday the 12th looks glassy with a small NW pulse, but again, not much to get excited about.
Overall, this is a long, drawn-out period of small surf. The best you’ll get is on Wednesday, September 16th, with that long-period groundswell and glassy conditions. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only window that offers a little bit of quality. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.
Rusty.
